Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Mola Ram]

Truly a frabjous day in the annals of Bobology. If Trump actually wins, Bob's meltdown will be even beyond what I was imagining, because there's no way he'll be able to separate the two events. Somehow, some way, Bob's shitcanning will be Trump's fault.

I guess The Escapist's owners just told us who really doesn't matter, huh, Bob?

In light of this development, I suggest a new poll:

WHAT WAS THE LAST STRAW IN BOB GETTING FIRED?

- Pedodefending
- Calling for Lindsay Graham's death
- Brigading Memology101
- Ate "an average sized meal" at the local soup kitchen, forcing them to shutter

Add your own!

How the hell could MovieBob keep failing upwards all these years? Pitts was a good boss all things considered (standing up for one of his employees for as long as he did, even one as despicable as Bob). We know Bob won't learn a damn thing from all of this but this but can he honestly reflect on his past and think of how many times he had the ungodly luck to break into golden positions?

He's a randian autist and believes he got there by pulling his bootstraps but even Bill Gates mentioned how lucky he was at the chances he was given. Bob will still think he's god's gift to manking.

I have to reiterate - all internet """""""journalism""""""" is a gig job. It's the epythome of the gig economy (useless positions, make-work, no value added, hustling, etc) yet this asshole was treated like an honest to god worker because his former boss thought it was the right thing to do.

Anyways, it's better to not do a victory dance and take this as a lesson in humilty: never become like Bob. If I suddenly get an ego boost it's best to focus and remember the consoomer's fate who lost the best job in a covid world because he couldn't shut the fuck up.

I won't lie. I am enjoying this.

 

[Chad Holdenford]

Bet he's at peace with the life decisions that left him in this situation.

I have to admit, I needed this after seeing that decapitated head.

Do you think his spirited defense of Cuties combined with his feuding with Memeology101 might have been the last straw? Because that's the first thing that springs to mind for me. He's been pulling very unimpressive numbers and getting into slap fights on Twitter for a long time, but if the higher ups saw that he was not only defending the notorious pedo movie and catching a lot of heat for it, but very publicly butting heads with a Youtuber who regularly gets two or three times more views than he does over it, that might well have been what got them to realize that this guy is absolute brand poison.

If the escapist goes and hires memology to work for them, my erection will be lasting 4 or more hours.

Is it wrong for me to think that this can be a chance for Moviebob to look in the mirror and realise that he was the problem as this is pretty much rock bottom for him

NGL I briefly toyed with the idea of celebrating with bob's concept of a "small snack"

 

[Pope of Degeneracy]

If Bob has to get a job at McDonald's, how many shifts will he be able to do until he gets caught in the kitchen taking a bite out of customer's big macs

Better yet, how long until he's homeless?

 

[kaien]

it'd be kinda cool if they had the money and industry influence to poach channel-carrying talent from similar publications to pick up the slack. stealing brian david gilbert from polygon and lyle rath from destructoid would unironically get me to subscribe to their channel again, it'd be like a new G4 but with insufferable hipsters instead of adam cokeler and mommy webb

Minor pedantic note: the Escapist swiping a guy from Destructoid is basically robbing Peter to pay Paul. Same parent company.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Predictions from here:

• Denial: He will not acknowledge that this happened while quietly dropping all references to his former employer. Escape.who?
• Cope: To protect his ego, he will pretend this split was completely amicable. He might even imply that it was him that dropped them, since the Escapist was only holding him back.
• Delusion: Bob will see himself as a James Gunn-esque figure targeted by an alt-right hate campaign. Surely, just like Disney, the Escapist will eventually see the light and take him back.
• Complete Meltdown: Bob will give in to his nature and start flinging shit in all directions. The Escapist were obsolote mayonnaise fascist coal miners all along.

 

[King Dead]

Still no tweets from Bobby. I'm guessing this was a surprise to him, and he has absolutely no idea how to feel. Maybe he's desperately firing emails at ScreenRant and Geek.com to try and get hired back, or maybe he's just drowning his sorrows that he fucked up his Escapist gig again.

Whatever the case may be, it couldn't happen to a worse person. Thanks to The Escapist for making my Friday better.

Mayme totally not stolen from @Flexo that seems oh so fitting at this moment
